Why is there so much effort put forth by people to discredit Cam?

I've never seen so much effort put forth to try to discredit a player's claim in all of my years watching football. Cam Newton feels like he is not being treated fairly. We all watch every game, we all know he isn't. Why are others that don't even watch our games commenting on it? When someone says they are being hurt, no one has the right to tell them they aren't. You can't just say "No you're not". Who the fug are you? How can you feel what another person is physically feeling? 

Michael Vick used to run a lot. I never remember this situation swirling around him. Maybe it's because he protected himself better like the NFL says Cam isn't. Maybe he had better "running posture". Maybe he did all the right things Cam isn't so that he isn't getting all the hits. Or maybe just maybe the reason Cam is in this situation is because he has been hit more than any other QB over the past few years yet doesn't have the calls like every other QB has gotten to show for it? Couldn't be that right?

Outside of Panther fandom, Can is fairly disliked due to how much he celebrates on field success. You know how most of us hate Brady? That's how most non-Panthers fans feel about Cam.

I love his enthusiasm and joy, but gotta take the downside of that as well.

I don't like Brady that much but I wouldn't be able to justify a hit on him like Cam had yesterday.

it's because he's big, strong and can run. oh and he celebrates on the field. no other quarterback in the league fits that description in any way. other qbs are tiny little babies who can barely pick themselves off the ground because they're so weak, all clocking in at 6+ seconds in the 40 and of course none of them have the audammdacity to celebrate, much less have their own signature celebration.

You are adorable, you know that?

I think a lot of people just don't like him because of all the celebration last year,. We all know that neither Cam Newton or the Panthers were celebrating just to make fun of other teams or be clowns for no reason, they were celebrating because they earned the right to do it in my opinion. But a lot of people (non Panther fans) fail to see that and they view it as the Pantehrs were a bunch of obnoxious goons who had an "easy" schedule last season who were asking to be put back in their place. And Now the the Panthers have lost to Denver twice and started this season with  bunch of Ls, people feel vindicated that the Panthers and Cam are getting "what they desrve" for being arrogant clowns last year (not what I believe, trying to explain how other NFL fans think) . I think also last year a lot of other fans were either satly that their team was on the receiving end of our wins/celebrations, or satly their team wasn't having as much success/fame as the Panthers were last season. 

I hate to play the race card but yes there are some that don't like Cam because hes Black.

Some people don't like him because of the way he dresses, talks, behaves, etc. The SB press conference , Cam not diving on the ball in the SB, and Cam showing he was upset near the end of the SB, just provided the perfect storm for the haters to have a field day with Cam and our losses this season are only feeding their frenzy. Lot of people just call him Crybaby Cam and critsize him all day for being child-like for walking out of press conferences and not dealing with losing in a way that these people view as "mature." 

In my opinion he doesn't fit the way these people WANT him to be (Stoic QB that never complains, always answers questions appropriately). I think his personality and style of play and the way he hates losing just upsets people because its not what they believe in or want in a QB I suppose. 

My personal opinoin? I honestly think Cam COULD be better with answering questions. But at the end of the day, I really don't blame him for walking out of the SB press conference, I don't blame him for being uspet in loses and elated in victories. I don't think this means he's immmature, it means he's wears his fuging emotions on his sleeve and loves the game. And he's totally justified in saying he gets these missed calls.  

Its bullshit that these players and talking heads  (and other nfl fans) are throwing these stats like (Oh so and so QBs have had more missed penalties), its likely that alot of these people don't even watch all the games like we do (and the coaches and players who side with Cam do obviously). WE see game in and game out that Cam does not get these fuging penalties for illegal hits that other QBS get in their sleep and CAM does too thats why hes fuging upset, he's probably even more upset that all these clowns are going out of their way to discredit him for calling the league out. Hopefully it lights a fire under him and he plays out of his mind (after the NFL presumably tells him to shrug it of "alot of other qbs get way more missed calls agains them herp derp).

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
